WHO WE ARE

GracePoint Church has a long history of worship and service to the community. Shortly after the city of Coppell was founded in 1890, this church was founded in 1896 with 19 charter members as Coppell Baptist Church. The first building was erected and dedicated in 1901. The church remained in this first building until 1948, when a new building was erected in then downtown Coppell, at the intersection of what is now Bethel and Coppell Roads. In the early 1970s, the name was established as First Baptist Coppell and the church moved to its current location on Denton Tap Road. Through the years devoted, caring people have always stood ready to minister to the community in the name of Jesus Christ. That spirit of love, compassion and care that characterizes Jesus' ministry on the earth is alive, well and flourishing in GracePoint today.

SERVICE TIMES

9:30 AM Sunday Mornings Followed by Life Groups & Age Graded Ministries

CALENDAR

Each and every event at GracePoint goes toward fulfilling our goal of sharing the Gospel with all men and helping them to become fully devoted followers of Christ. We have activities for the whole family.

GIVING

Giving is an act of obedience, giving God back a little of what He has so graciously given us. Every week we have an offering in our service, but many find online giving a better option for their family. Click the links below to setup and monitor your online giving.

Contact Us

If you have an need, prayer request, question about the Bible or the church, we are here to walk alongside and help. If you need a church to call home, we hope you will come and visit us on Sunday morning or drop by the Ark or Church Office during the week. We truly strive to be the church where shame meets grace.

The pictures and stories we see coming out of South Texas are devastating. Many are moved and want to do something... here is my advice.

1) Pray!

Align your heart with God's. Don't know what to say... Pray for safety, peace, patience and clear direction for those making tough choices. Mourn with those who mourn for such loss. And pray for direction about your next steps in helping. Find a psalm and use it to guide your time of prayer, like Psalm 17, 25, 46 or 27.

2) Give (or if trained and equipped Go).

Right now it is in the relief stage and they need funds (and lots of them) and trained people to act. Most organizations at this point are so focused on those who need help, they don't have the time to train. Find organizations that supply relief not just for the physical needs of people, but also their spiritual, emotional and mental ones. Here are a few to consider:

Samaritans Purse: See updates on their relief efforts in the area HERE.

Convoy of Hope: They have a diaster services team already on the ground needing support. Click HERE for more information and to donate.

Texas Baptist Men: They train people all throughout the state to be ready when disaster strikes. Now they are in active mode serving in this area. You can learn more about their effort HERE or text HurricaneHarvey to 73256 to give to Disaster Relief (standard text messaging rates may apply).

3) Go later.

It will take months and even years to come back from this. Look at taking a trip with your family, friends, co-workers, life group down to help later. You know when they feel like everyone has forgotten about them... that is when your presence is needed. Plan now to take time to do this... don't wait. Find organizations like Samaritans Purse who accepts untrained willing people and uses them well maintaining the dignity and respecting the people who are effected. There is a place to sign up here for notifications on future trips:https://www.samaritanspurse.org/disaster/hurricane-harvey/.
